Sadness

Hi everyone.My lo is 9 mths and is breastfed morning and night.I have recently been very stressed and tired due to starting back at work.This led to me being unwell with a stomach problem and I took some medication where I couldn't nurse.It's been 2 days now and I feel really sad.Is this normal?my body wants to feed her.I was going to quit in a couple of months anyway but now I don't know what to do.She seems fine with bottle as is used to it in the day but I feel so sad and irritable.It's not like me at all :( Anyone had similar experiences?

I felt the same when I weaned my first. I too had to take medication, so it was not in my plan, so I felt a little cheated. That's great your LO takes a bottle well, and it is awesome you breastfed for 9 months! Your sadness will go away. Keep your mind busy with something for the next few days.
